CCHS defeats Jordan, suffers loss at Wibaux

The Lady Bulldogs JV squad suffered a thirty point loss to Jordan at home last Friday. The team is young, and inexperience showed as they finished with twice as many turnovers (31) as points (15). Kendall Kittelmann led the way offensively with five points.
